Airsoft squads from places like the Philippines, Brazil, Poland travelled to Gloucester to indulge in their favourite sport at what was a bustling industrial premises.

Players were darting around the Morelands Match factory for the The Airsoft Surgeon 5th Annual Championship, hitting targets for points with their BB guns- some that were worth more than £1,000.

The event began when Clarence Lai, considered the founder of Airsoft, met another fan Nigel Streeter at an exhibition in Nuremberg and decided to bring it to Gloucestershire.

With the help of local man Chris Kong, Director at RedWolf Airsoft (UK), who decided the event should go ahead this year despite his Tewkesbury warehouse being badly hit by fire, they set about creating a top weekend for the sport.

Over two days, players are divided into 14 squads and they shoot each stage.
